tbh I stopped drinking recently and I found i got a lot of mileage out of replacing it with yummy things that helped trick my reptile brain
the monkey clapping cymbals in my head thinks that a non alcoholic beer is a beer, and it thinks a nice soda water w/ bitters is a cocktail
I take some drug store sleepy meds before bed since I had similar feelings you do re: insomnia / 'i need to drink to sleep'
I find the combination of tasty fake alcoholic treats + things that accomplish what my body is concerned about creates enough of a placebo for me personally.
I mean Fallout was fucking great imo, but definitely an exception to that rule
Sorry, I've gotten so used to shoplifting that I'm not going back to paying
the new way to make a heart with your hands is stupid
I'm lazy as fuck
easier to get out of bed is a great point tbh, never thought about that
I'm constantly fascinated by people who wear clothing to bed
based. I spent a lot of time at a local zen center for a few years, I got derailed when I was sick for a long time but I'd like to get back to it someday. o7, maybe you'll be a cool old monk someday once your kids are doing their own things
that sounds fucking rad tbh
shinji get in the law exam
how many did you put in your mouth at once
jork it (my peanits)
in all seriousness theres been queer strip club nights popping up in my city which sounds kinda fun if everyones being chill and respectful
sounds great, too many organizing efforts are ruined by people smashing and then causing drama with one another tbh especially when folks are young
yeah so nothing is universal with trans people, so it's always good to have a chat / bring up what you're wondering before you bone
usually if I'm with someone new who is trans I like to ask what they like their bits called (maybe what some people might call a clit is actually a cock now for example) and what makes them feel best and most comfortable, anything that makes them feel uncomfortable etc. I think it's also worth asking how they feel about their chest since lots of trans masc folks dislike it being touched or even having it bare.
might feel like an uncomfortable or awkward discussion, but personally one of the reasons I don't like to fuck new cis people is because it always ends up with me having to lead a sex ed seminar, so it would probably be refreshing to have someone take the lead on respectful communication.
make no assumptions, tread politely, be a nice boy
hope you get strapped or whatever, godspeed soldier
giggity
currently wondering how many people there are in the world that sound just like peter griffin because of this
its good
galen weston is first to the wall
what if my misfits shirt is really thin and makes my tits look good
Seriously, this shit doesnt happen to any of my other trans fem friends who generally present a lot more fem than me.
In the last 3 months I've had 3 instances of me minding my own business (riding transit / smoking outside a concert venue) and some fucker will just come up and start shit.
The other night someone came up to me and started yelling like a Fox News reporter like "ARE YOU A MAN OR A WOMAN, ARE YOU A MAN OR A WOMAN, DONT YOU PEOPLE GO IN SCHOOLS AND [REDACTED HORRIBLE THINGS TO KIDS]
I don't fucking get it, because I generally present pretty "butch" and at a base level don't really look like someone you'd want to fight. I'm not saying I'm a big tough badass, but out of all my trans friends I definitely look like the most likely to whoop your ass. And also when I've been swung on, I've won all the fights, but not in a cool way where I feel good...I just wish I was never in that situation to begin with !stalin-bummed
Another thing that fucks me up is it's great that I can defend myself - but if it wasn't me, and it was someone smaller or more passive, how far would it have gone? Would one of my sisters have been curbstomped? I fucking hate that so much.
A few theories posited by my friends
-
Beating up someone in a dress / dressed fem isnt really badass no matter what so it happens less (but obviously still happens). So maybe presenting more butch makes you more "fightable"?
-
I simply go out more; I take transit 3-4x a day, I travel up and down my city every day, on weekends I'll generally have a big night out at least once
-
I'm androgynous in a weird way where people don't really understand what I'm going for (most of my trans friends are very binary presenting) and it's threatening / confusing / provokes harassment
I honestly don't fucking get it. I'm sure there isn't a magic answer. Just venting I guess.
tl;dr im hot and strong, people dont like it
